Kev's guide to alcohol-free fruit and sour beer
Good questions
What is a gose?
Gose (say it go-zuh) is an old German wheat beer style, traditionally brewed with salt and coriander. It's gently sour and slightly salty, a bit like the sea air on a sharp day at Whitby, which makes it very refreshing. Modern brewers love adding fruit to it. Our favourite alcohol-free gose is Brulo Five Fruit, made with mango, passionfruit, guava, apricot, orange and sea salt, at 0.5%.
What does alcohol-free sour beer taste like?
Tart, bright and mouth-watering. Think sour sweets, green apple or a squeeze of lime rather than vinegar. The sourness is usually balanced with fruit, so it reads as juicy rather than harsh. If you're new to it, start with a fruited gose, which is only gently sour, before working up to anything sharper. If you'd rather avoid sour altogether, a fruit lager like Peach Fuzz gives you the fruit without the tang.
How do brewers make beer sour?
Mostly with lactic acid bacteria, the same family of bugs that sour yoghurt. The brewer lets them work on the beer for a while, which brings the tang, then carries on brewing as normal. Some sours are aged with whole fruit, like Belgian kriek with cherries. It's a slow, fussy process, which is partly why good sours cost a bit more than a can of lager. Worth it, though.
What's the difference between a fruit beer and a sour beer?
A fruit beer is any beer with fruit added. It can be a crisp lager, a hazy IPA or a radler, and it doesn't have to be sour at all. A sour beer is defined by its tartness, and plenty of sours happen to use fruit too. So a peach pale ale is a fruit beer, a gose is a sour, and a fruited gose is both.
